Factory37mm, 42mm and bronze executions
The revived Captain Cook has been offered at 37mm as a close reissue of the 1960s watch, at 42mm as here, in bronze, in high-tech ceramic and in skeletonised form. All are factory configurations; the case size does not identify the caliber or the material, and the reference must be read.
Component compatibility
What this reference is documented to have carried, and in what capacity. A service part is the manufacturer's own work; only a counterfeit classification is a finding against the watch.
